For the second time in two months, a female student has come forward to say she was raped in a dormitory at Stonehill College.

The woman reported to Stonehill officials Monday that she had been raped by a fellow student on Dec. 7, according to a campus police log obtained Thursday.

That puts the attack just two weeks after another rape was reported on Nov. 23, also in a dormitory. Easton police have released composite sketches of the two suspects in that incident, who remain at large.

The student who reported the crime on Monday told campus police she was raped by a fellow student, but so far has not decided to seek criminal charges, said spokesman Martin McGovern.

This latest incident is the third sexual assault reported at the private Catholic college since the beginning of the academic year.

News of the latest assault also comes in the same week a White House report revealed that girls who go to college are at greater risk of sexual assault. The report has prompted President Barack Obama to form a task force to combat rape on college campuses throughout the country.

McGovern said Stonehill has continually focused on student safety and has been "proactive in the wake of what happened last semester," he said.

"We remain vigilant and are very, very focused on the whole issue of student safety."

Although the most recent case will be handled internally, McGovern said, Easton police have been notified of the most recent assault.

A campus-wide alert has also been issued following Monday's complaint, McGovern added.

The matter will be investigated by authorities at the college, who will then refer the matter to the dean of student affairs for review and possible sanctions, McGovern said.

Those outcomes will not be made public, he added.

Police are still investigating the case of two men who raped a student in a Stonehill dormitory on Nov. 23.

The suspects had been hanging out with a group of students in a dormitory just before the assault, but they may not be Stonehill students, said Easton police.

A rape also occurred in October at the school, though officials would not provide any further detail and said it did not result in a criminal investigation.

Over the past several years, officials at the college have introduced several programs geared toward not only helping to prevent sexual assault, but also creating an environment in which victims do not fear coming forward, said Pauline Dobrowski, Stonehill vice president for student affairs.

Officials say they continue to explore ways to combat sexual violence on the campus through several programs and safety measures.

About six years ago, the school also started a Rape Aggression Defense program, which teaches women self-defense techniques, said Stonehill Police Detective Lt. David Bamford. Two classes, taught by Stonehill police, meet over a two-week span every semester, said Bamford.

"The things we try to share with our students is that consent is crucial," he said.

"No means no. We also educate our students basic precautionary measures – don't keep their doors propped open, don't invite people you don't know to your room and look out for one another," he said.

Other campus initiatives include a sexual assault and prevention presentation for all incoming freshmen at orientation, officials said.

Students in residential life also receive training on the issue, he added.
